OUR FIREMEN.
[To The Editor.']
.Sir,—Masterton residents were I am sure, pleased to yead in your paper of yesterday the letter of appreciation with regard to the behaviour of"our •firemen while at the Hokitika Conference recently, and we are all pleased to have them home again with all their virtues unimpaired, especially so when we consider they went from a NoLicense town to a town where recently there was one public hotel to each two hundred inhabitants. From henceforth I am sure that when our worthy firemen travel their mothers, and their sisters and their aunts will be assured that they can be trusted anywhere. They said of Hokitika after they had gone that the place seemed ."stale, flat and unprofitable.!' Well,. Sir, now that they have returned it is to be hoped that our town will not be so "flat and unprofitable" as some of our. pessimists would have us believe. —T am, etc., 0. FLAPP-DOODLE. Masterton, March" 21st, 1911.
